Ree REE, Jencovi and Lynn, I will be praying for all of y'all too. Like you I am nervous and excited but I really want to get this party started so I can start losing and the sooner I get started the sooner I will be eating real food again. I am going to Greece this summer and I want to be able to eat real food when I get there. I certainly don't want to be on a pureed diet when I am out of the country. How hard would that be??? Any way... I'm at 8:45 am in the morning and sounds like the rest of you have surgery at 10. I'm in Mississippi (Central time) so there will be the time difference too. I think we are 3 hours ahead of California, right? Marie, please text me send me your phone number again in a private message. I can't seem to find it. Good luck everyone.

I visited Greece a few years back. If you're a few months out you will be fine! Lots of hummus and soft tasty fresh foods. Ah, to be in Greece again. Good luck tomorrow! Praying for you for sure!

PRAYING FOR YOUR SUCCESSFUL SURGERY TOMORROW..KEEP US POSTED

Two more days on the pre-op diet and then Sunday nothing but Clear Liquids and then that lovely " cleanse". Atleast it will be the easier Gatorade cleanse. Monday is the big day for me and I am so excited about my sleeve. I am ready for this and I am praying that all will go well for the surgery and I will have an easy recovery. For the rest of you out there who are having surgery on Monday. Sending you prayers and hugs and hoping all goes well for you. Happy Losing to all you.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
